Abstract: A metal processing apparatus comprising: (i) a first tool portion including a first carrier, a cutting surface, a first plurality of dimple forming elements; (ii) a second tool portion including a second carrier, in opposing relation to the first tool portion, the second tool portion having a blade or adapted to receive the blade which is adapted to contact the cutting surface for cutting an edge of a metal sheet to form a cut edge in the metal sheet, a second plurality of dimple forming elements; and (iii) a dimpler indexer to index the first plurality of dimple forming from a first pre-determined location to a second pre-determined location. The metal processing apparatus may find particular use in creating dimples along one or more cut edges of a metal sheet to allow for stacking of the metal sheets with an airgap therebetween.
